Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
- if the development is inappropriate, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm, is clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development
What decided it
The cumulative disproportionate addition to the building, combined with substantial weight to Green Belt harm, meant the very special circumstances necessary to justify the development did not exist.
The harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness and minor harm to openness outweighed the other considerations of good design, community support, and visual improvement, such that very special circumstances were not demonstrated.
